Chapter 1

Author: Dream Searcher

They said marriage was the tomb of love. I thought it was great. I’d rather have a comfortable resting place than die without a grave, exposed to the elements.

After two months of meticulous sewing, I finally finished my bridal gown.

It dazzled brightly under the light. I imagined myself in it—a few days from now, walking down the aisle with the man I loved—and smiled.

I had been waiting for this day since I was 19. After six years, I was finally going to rest in this tomb of love at the age of 25.

My dream shattered overnight.

Cherry Birkin, my assistant, called and asked, “Tay-Tay! Mr. Kennedy came this morning and took the bridal gown. He’s bringing it home, right?”

Still groggy, I replied, “He took my gown?”

“Yeah. Um, do you know anything about that?”

“I’ll ask him about it now.”

My mind cleared slightly, but I still couldn’t figure out his reason.

Our house was already filled with things for the event. There was no space for the gown, so I had planned to take it home the day before the wedding.

Edward didn’t pick up his phone. I was about to call again when he called first.

“Did you take the gown, Ed?” I asked straight away.

“I did.”

He sounded exhausted. His reply came out as a groan, and I felt a pang of worry.

“Are you alright? You sound under the weather,” I said.
